There is trouble in my mindThere is darkThere is dark and there is lightLay your hands over my eyesAs I look deepTrough valleys deep and wideAcross the borderlineFor the empire in my mind

You are the reason I don't sleepYou are the lightThat's breaking through the leavesAnd you know how hard I triedTo believeI have something good insideOver barricades I climbFor the empire in my mind

I have known love somewhere in timeI've been lifted upI look honor in the eyesI have no reason, I have no rhymeI cannot denyThere's a darkness that's insideI'm guilty by designAnd now I realiseThat temptations made me blindTo the empire in my mind

There is no orderAnd there is chaosAnd there is crimeThere is no one home tonightin the empire of my mind

There is no distance that I don't seeI do have a willNo limit to my reachI wish I wouldI wish I mightTo see a line tonightSeperating wrong from rightSome are only born to tryAnd maybe that's the reason whyI'm afraid someday I 'll findThere is no empire in my mind
